Win the security review without stalling the roadmap

For UK SaaS, software and managed service businesses between 10 and 250 people, where the compliance work usually lands on a CTO, a head of engineering or an operations lead who already has a full week.

The moment this usually starts

A good deal reaches procurement. A 200-line security questionnaire arrives. Someone asks whether you are ISO 27001 certified, and whether you can show an access review, a supplier assessment and an incident process. The engineering team stops shipping for two weeks to assemble screenshots, and the same thing happens again with the next customer.

The fix is not a better spreadsheet. It is a management system that produces this material as a by-product of running the business.

What technology teams get out of it

Evidence from the systems you already run

Entra, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, GitHub, Slack and Okta read on a schedule for dated configuration evidence.

Fits how engineering works

Actions push into Jira, ServiceNow, Freshservice and other service desks with your own severity mapping, so compliance work lands in the backlog rather than a separate tool.

Faster security reviews

A public Trust Centre and an answer library shorten questionnaires from weeks to a single reviewed response.

Posture checks with one-click fixes

Misconfigurations are found, explained in plain English and — where safe — corrected on your approval, with undo.

AI features governed properly

ISO/IEC 42001 structure for AI inventories, impact assessments and vendor review as AI enters the product.

Ownership that survives growth

Named owners, due dates and reminders keep the system alive between funding rounds and reorganisations.

Where it bites

Seed-to-Series-A SaaS chasing enterprise logos

Pain: Every deal above a certain size stalls at security review, and each one is answered from scratch.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: One evidence library answers all of them, with a Trust Centre buyers can read before they ask.

Managed service provider under client scrutiny

Pain: Clients now audit their suppliers, and the same questions arrive from every direction.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: Controls evidenced once, reused across every client assurance request and your own certification.

Scale-up with ISO 27001 as a board commitment

Pain: A consultant delivered a document pack that nobody has updated since.

With ISO-STANDARD.app: A live register with owners, review dates and audit programme, so the system keeps operating.

Answers buyers, procurement and auditors want

We are 25 people with no compliance hire. Is this realistic?+

That is the size this is built for. The work is structured so a technical founder, CTO or head of operations can run it alongside their day job, with consultancy support available when a decision needs a second opinion.

Which standard should a SaaS company start with?+

Usually ISO/IEC 27001, because it is what enterprise buyers and procurement teams ask for. ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 often follow when service commitments and delivery quality become contractual, and ISO/IEC 42001 when AI features enter the product.

Can evidence come from our cloud and identity systems?+

Yes. Microsoft 365 and Entra, Google Workspace, AWS, GitHub, Slack and Okta can be read for live configuration signals that become dated evidence, and misconfigurations can be fixed from the findings inbox.

Will this help with customer security questionnaires?+

Yes. Answers are drawn from evidence you already hold, and a public Trust Centre lets buyers self-serve the common questions before they send a spreadsheet.

Does the platform certify us?+

No. Certification is awarded independently by an accredited certification body following its own audit. The platform prepares and evidences the management system behind it.

AI-enabled — privacy-respecting

AI does the drafting. You keep the control — and the data.

How we handle data →

  • AI that assists — not replaces

    Assisted drafting for policies, risks, controls and buyer questionnaires. Every AI suggestion is reviewed and approved by you before it lands in the record.

  • Opt-in, workspace-scoped

    AI features run only when you invoke them, only against the workspace you're in. We never mine your data to answer someone else's prompt.

  • Your data stays yours

    Prompts routed via the AI Gateway to model providers whose API terms exclude your content from model training. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

  • Isolated by design

    Row-level security enforces workspace boundaries at the database. MFA, SSO, audit logs and least-privilege roles govern who sees what.

We never sell personal information, never share it for advertising, and never use your workspace content to train third-party models. Full sub-processor list and Acceptable Use Policy on the Trust page.

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
